Who Should I Start? Najee Harris or Kenneth Gainwell

Wednesday, December 6, 7:08 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Thursday night against the New England Patriots following two straight missed practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, according to sources, there is optimism that he'll suit up. Harris has yet to miss a game since entering the league in 2021, but he could be more of a game-time decision on Thursday night. Fantasy managers will need to check back 90 minutes before kickoff against New England. The 25-year-old handled 18 touches for 77 scrimmage yards in the Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but he could cede more touches to backfield mate Jaylen Warren this week if he manages to play. If Harris is inactive, Warren will be an absolute must-start in all fantasy lineups.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell rushed two times for 26 yards and caught two of his three targets for 10 yards in the Week 12 win over the Buffalo Bills. Gainwell remains the clear No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift, so he's far from a reliable fantasy option. However, the 24-year-old should continue to be stashed as a high-upside fantasy handcuff running back. If Swift has to miss any time down the stretch, Gainwell could be propelled to the No. 1 RB role in one of the league's best offenses.
